And yet I speak the truth. A long time ago, when I still collected Lincolns, I had a number of woodies. Now I only have two, one of which is a...
I may be alone in this, but I still like this coin very much in the PCGS photo you posted, and even in the quick & dirty cell phone pics your wife...
It's really hard to tell given the low image quality. Might help if you could capture a better picture.
Great metaphor, and great post. As an American I want some US coins in my collection. But there is so much more out there.
Coin folders can lead people -- especially kids -- to believe filling holes is what coin collecting is all about. It can be, but it doesn't have...

@Pop70 this is the way to go. You can't turn them into coin collectors, but you can leave them a coin related memento of their grandpa. Until one...
I'm hesitant to respond since we're not going to agree on this and I don't want to precipitate an argument, but since you asked... No, I don't...

I'm not knowledgeable about this series. What should the edge look like?
I'll bet the majority of members here who started collecting as a child would tell the same story. The coins get relegated to the back of the...
Old coin designs were worthy of commemorating? Seemed more like an absence of real ideas to me. We'll have to agree to disagree on those. Agreed....
